There’s an elephant in the room and nobody dares touch it. Another war of black on black. Another war of the Tutsis versus the Hutus. Another racial cleansing. Eugenics at its best! Meanwhile the entire world quietly watches in silence.
Where is the United Nations? Where are the peacekeeping ambassadors? Where are the activists commissioned on human rights when Haitians in terrible crisis in the Dominican Republic are calling for help?
What does President Obama have to say?
What is happening in the Dominican Republic against Haitians is what the seeds of hatred are made of. Pure unalloyed hatred. And hatred can only breed hatred.
What crime did the Haitian children born in the Dominican Republic commit to have their citizenship revoked and to be threatened with mass deportation?
The answer: they were born one shade darker than the next brother. Too much melanin in the skin (a hormone that protects from the sun.)
O’ Lord, I pray!
Such shame!
Such degradation!
O’ Lord, I pray. Brothers, let us light a candle for Haitian families living in the Dominican Republic, Hispaniola, our former heritage, one land one nation under God, forever divided.
Today the Dominican Republic symbolizes the new Cain.
Haiti is the brother Abel.
Something about Abel that is eating Cain alive.
Cain wants to kill Abel, his own brother.
But when God asks Cain for his brother, “I am not my brother’s keeper,” replies Cain.
“I am not my brother’s keeper” is the anthem singing in the Dominican Republic.
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”- Martin Luther King, Jr.
Brothers, lo and behold let us all lay silent and watch; lest the seeds of hatred; the seeds of injustice shall soon start springing and find its way in your own backyard.
